Prof. J. W. McKsnnon, Of Pittsburgh,
was called. Heeaid: am a graduate Of
the University Of Pennsylvania; gradu.
ated IN medicine and took special course
OF, microscopy. l am now located in

ern Pennsylvania Hospital. I have used
the microscope to such au extent 40 to BE-
thoroughly acquainted with its uses. The
pants were submitted to me last Thurs.
day. The pants are in the same condition,
l took a day and half in making an ex,
animation, in company with DR.. McCann,
Of Pittsburgh. I used q microscope and
chemicals in making tesla. 7 found ei1
spots on one side and four on the other
they we're principally in front. AZ,
When the witness wss asked what these
spots were, Mr.. Cook raised objection, and
spoke ut some length, supporting the ar
gument by authorities read from Wharton
on Evidence. The question was allowed.
Evidences Of blood appeared. We took
the suspected clothing and it was soaked
IN solution OF chloride Of sodium for
thirty minutes. We examined five spots
on one eide and found that two showed
no signs or evidence OF blood. Seven OF
the spots showed evidence OF blood cor.
puscles. l can't state positively that it
waa human blood. Found the spots on
the front leg to be MAMMALIAN blood. The
collar was delivered to me by Prof. Logan.
| examined the collar and found spots on
the outslde and inside; found the spots to
be blood colpuscles in four out OF five
spots, the same as on the pants. also
gave q chemical test; the test is called
schonbrine, and is accepted 90 authority
with but few exceptions. From these
tests reached the conclusion that these
were blood spots. I used microscopes
magnlfying 400 times and 1000 times, I
made the same chemical test on the collar
and found the came result; found the
epots on the outaide OF the collar on the
left side. 5g; s5' u :. i175 -
C1oss:examination by Col. Moore, he
said: The spots or, discoloration found on
tho inside Of the collar did not give evi-
dence Of blood corpuscles. The spots on
the collar were more distinct but much
smaller in sixs than those on the pants,
lcould not say whether the spots on the
collar had been washed or not. "A motion
to strike out this testimony was made.
